A great service to solve this problem which I have been using for years is WWWizer. Their core offer is "SSL for the Cloud." but they let you forward your non-www domain for free.
The way it works is that you simply point your naked domain to a specific IP (174.129.25.170) and all traffic will be forwarded to the www subdomain to that domain.
As an example this is the CloudFlare configuration for manuelmeurer.com: (ignore the grayed out stuff, the important part the image is discreetly marked.)

Set up your www prefix to serve your content (mine is a CNAME for a static website on Amazon S3)
Set up an A Record for your naked (non-www) domain pointing to 174.129.25.170
That's it! Your naked domain should now forward to your www-domain! For more details visit here.
